Here’s our new “baby”! So excited – having tons of fun with the new camera… still haven’t figured out have of the things we can do with it… but having lots of fun trying.

And a picture taken with it… reduced massivly (original over 3000 x 2000 pixels):

Firstly: So sorry for your loss… (((((hugs)))))

Secondly: Fully possible… it’s much more common in the US then in the UK, but I think it might become more and more common in the UK too after all the exposure of the tattoartist that lost his son and chose to use some of the ashes for his memorial tattoo as it was in lots of news…[Read more]

That looks great – really like it!

That’s gorgeous! Was looking at some designs in the same style with hubby the other night (not that I got any plans on getting any, but they’re so fascinating).

Wow…. the details are amazing (have been admiering the details in the hair)! Not something I would have choosen myself, but awesome work!

Thank you all! The camera arrived about 40 minutes ago… and those 40 minutes have been spent opening, unwrapping and marvelling. lol! And then to wrap and pack everything back, so hubby can get the same feeling opening everything when he comes home from work. Got my fingers crossed he’ll be home early, as I’ll be tippy-toeing around the box…[Read more]

Would you like to pick my lotto numbers for me?

lol! Wish it worked that way… used to play the lottery (gave up due to cost), same numbers all the time… most I won as £107… played for a lot more.

Have decided to use 9k to pay off credit cards, 1k will be put into other (not the one we normally use… the one in…[Read more]

Oh, no… I’m torn in two… it would look amazing with just grey shades (as the outline is beautiful), but I would personally want shading on the waterlilly too… but I’d love to see it with colour too!

That’s beautiful! And yes, it does look like the middle bit has been done a shade lighter.

Beautiful!!! *applauds*

*gobsmacked* That’s turning out absolutely stunning – wow! Yes, I can understand the dissappointment of the “wind” that was done… but then again, if the wind hadn’t turned out the way it did, she wouldn’t be having this amazing dragon design… and it really is awesome.

Hi there Kevin – and welcome to the forum!

Ooooooo… am loving that tattoo! Can’t wait to see piccies when the colouring is done.

Hi
adding sudocream to it is like rubbing the scab with sandpaper

Ouch! I’ll have to remember not doing that for the one I’m getting at the back of my knee… which seems to be a bit more of a problem then thought… I have to call to book it… *mutters some swearwords* So much more prefer e-mails.

^ lol! The piercing looks more painful then the tattoo for me… but then again, not having the equipment myself, I might not be the best to judge!

what did the artist advise????

Artist advised bepanthen (spelling?), but as I’ve done what mentioned above three times before (for me, and once for hubby), with quick healing (for me) and perfect outcome we thought we’d stick with what we know.

Yes, hubbys first tattoo took forever to heal. Mine have all been completely…[Read more]

it looks like the artist had trouble getting the ink into the skin and has overworked the area…

Ah… so I cannot really blame the green then? lol!

Used the “baby’s bottom” (can’t remember what it’s called, in a grey big tub anyway) cream for the first few days (before bed, getting up and after bath), and now use…[Read more]

One on my arm is predominantly dark and bright green, it scabbed little, and looks great.

Going off topic here (don’t know how that’s looked at)… the tattoo artist did tell my husband to come back after it’s healed, so she could touch it up, as it became so swollen at it as difficult to see what was what), but that meant…[Read more]

Hand might possibly mean arm? The English vocabulary often seems very confusing for foreigners, as we often just use one word for body parts that English speaking people will use several for… sometimes I still call arm “hand” and thigh “foot”.

Anyway… whether it’s hand or arm it all depends on what you like… here’s a few…[Read more]

*applauds* Well done!!! You must be so chuffed (over the moon)! And I love that scorpion… never seen anything like it… that’s awesome.

Really, really like it… that’s gorgeous. Didn’t see it without the roses, but it looks ace like that!
